It was a grind, but the traditional D-backs blueprint of falling behind in the first, late-inning offense and a shutdown bullpen was followed. Arizona scored in each or their final four trips to the plate, to overturn an early 2-0 deficit and take the series from Milwaukee. Those last five words are ones I did not expect to be writing with two outs to go last night. So what looked like potentially a deflating series ended up being another victory. Although he did not get the win, Zac Gallen overcame a rough beginning to deliver a quality start, and looked better the longer he pitched.
